baton rouge: -I used to model when i was 13. Im 15 now, I've been searching and searching for a good agency but so far I've found nothing but scams. So if you know any good agencies please tell me. 10pts. Also are barbizon and quickbook modeling scams?|||Do a google search for "modeling agency" + nearby big city and see what pops up. If there isn't anything, then you might even have to look at a farther big city. I know Houston/Dallas have quite a few larger agencies, but it also depends on the type of agency you are looking for. Barbizon is a modeling SCHOOL. It is not an agency. If you are paying them for "modeling classes" then it is a school. It is not a scam if all you want is a school. But if you are looking for an agency, then it is better to skip the "modeling school" altogether since a legit agency will teach you what you need to be successful and it won't cost you anything to learn this. Agencies make money when you do: when you get a job, they take about 20% of your paycheck for those jobs. It's how it works.
